Can I Make Changes Mid-Renovation?
Your dream renovation is underway. You found the right contractor, checked their references, agreed on the plans and schedule, and most importantly – signed a contract that includes a warranty.
But you’ve just found that ‘perfect’ lighting fixture or floor tile, and it’s different than what’s in your contract. So what can you do?
Even with the best-planned renovation, some things may need to be changed after the work begins. There is a simple way to deal with this, a ‘Change Order’. This is a ‘mini-contract’ that defines the altered or additional work you want done.
Change Orders describe what changes you’re making from what was originally agreed to, the cost and payment details. Once signed by both you and your contractor, these become part of your contract, so you know what you’re getting and what extra cost is involved.
Always make sure that when you make a change it is properly documented and signed-off by both parties.
For more information on how to hire a renovation contractor the smart and safe way, visit www.getitinwriting.ca. David Foster, Senior Director Communications, Canadian Home Builders’ Association

Reduce clutter and have a sale on social media to your friends, family and community members. The money you make can go towards a trip to OCD Utopia (also known as The Container Store) to buy the tools that you need to be successful. Practice the “everything in its place� rule by keeping a very simple idea in mind: If you bring something new in, something has to go. Keep a bin in your garage to collect the junk that has worn out its welcome, and donate or sell at the end of each month.
TO HAVE IS TO HOLD!
Tak a e a look at each storage area in your home and determine whether the shelves are being utilized to their full potential. Use felt hangers in closets to create more space, while using clear containers to store shoes on higher shelves.

Come in - feel the difference. Net Zero Homes‌ coming soon to a builder near you!
What is a Net Zero Home?
Net Zero Homes produce as much clean energy as they consume and are up to 80% more energy efficient than typical new homes. Renewable energy systems provide the remaining energy they need. Net Zero Homes provide consistent temperatures throughout, prevent drafts, and filter indoor air to reduce dust and allergens. The result: exceptional energy performance and the ultimate in comfort – a home at the forefront of sustainability. It all adds up to a better living experience.
Key Benefits Exceptional value A Net Zero Home is up to 80% more energy efficient than a home built to conventional standards. And because a Net Zero Home produces as much energy as it consumes, your utility bills will fall to an all-time low, year-round and protects you from future increases in energy prices. Over the years, that could be a very big deal. Built to higher standards than conventional new homes, a Net Zero Home is more durable – with warm windows and better insulated walls and roof. The performance and quality of a Net Zero Home make it an excellent investment, whether you plan to sell or stay forever.

87731.25.1.028.029.NetZero.qxp_Layout 1 12/19/16 2:39 PM Page 2
Greater comfort, healthier living A Net Zero Home delivers exceptional comfort all year round. Advanced construction methods and materials along with superior heating, cooling and ventilation equipment means even temperatures throughout the house – no drafts, no hot or cold spots. Exceptional indoor air quality for healthier living: a built-in filtered fresh air system reduces allergens and asthma triggers, such as dust, pollen and outdoor air pollution. Tightly built and well insulated, a Net Zero Home is quieter. Outside noise such as traffic, lawnmowers and barking dogs stays outside.
Environmentally responsible Choosing a Net Zero Home, helps protect against climate change and preserve natural resources for future generations. As well as producing clean, renewable energy a Net Zero home is also equipped with water-saving fixtures and appliances. All of these features work together to significantly minimize your household’s environmental footprint.
The people behind the movement
Since 1943 the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) has been “the voice of Canada's residential construction industry”. To support innovation CHBA has launched a Net Zero Home labelling program which distinguishes and recognizes Net Zero Homes. Builders and renovators who want to be part of this exciting program must take training as part of the qualification process. Each Net Zero Home is verified by government-licensed third-party service organizations and recognized by CHBA for its achievement.
Over the last 5 to 10 years, industry innovators have reduced the additional costs of Net Zero Homes by as much as 50% - and in many cases, we’re now able to achieve cost neutrality when monthly utility costs are considered. This means that the extra cost of Net Zero Homes can be off-set by the monthly energy savings - at net-zero monthly cost!
Sonja Winkelmann, Director, Net Zero Energy Housing, Canadian Home Builders’ Association

Lower Prices
Sellers are Motivated
Winter is a great time to buy a new home because it has the best deals! Sure there’s less inventory on the market, but there are also less shoppers and homeowners are eager for a sale. A survey conducted by RealtyTrac analyzed the sale of 32 million homes over a 15 year period during colder months. They concluded that on average, buyers paid 2.6 percent below the actual market value at the time for their homes. This means a discount of nearly $7,800 on a home that would typically sell for $300,000! That’s enough to do some decorating, or even small renovation.
Although it isn’t the best season to list a home, there are plenty of reasons a seller may need to put their property on the market during winter. Whether the seller is forced to relocate to a new city, changing jobs, or dealing give buyers the upper-hand. It’s also a great opportunity to negotiate prices, which can result in scoring a superb deal. This is great news for buyers, who normally end up saving thousands in the home buying process!

There is Less Competition The home buying rush during the spring and summer months can be overwhelming, but by the time winter approaches, most buyers have bought and settled in their new homes. Choosing to purchase your home in the winter means less consumers competing for available homes on the market. Although inventory is plentiful in the spring, buying your home in the winter affords you the opportunity to make the right decisions without facing the exhaustive competition of other buyers. This ultimately drives the price up.
Availability of Vendors
Holidays are around the Corner
Winter is a slow time for moving companies, so there will be plenty of available vendors to assist you upon purchasing your home. The lack of competition not only gives you the opportunity to get movers at a short notice, but you may also be able to use their services at a discounted price. Some moving companies may even give you a few hours of free service in order to beat out their rivals.
The approaching holiday season is another reason why a seller may be motivated to sell fast. If the seller wants to move out and settle in their new home in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas, he or she may be willing to lower the price along with offering perks and incentives to interested buyers. Deals like these are often scarce in the spring when multiple offers are on the table, and buyers are expected to submit their best bid. Purchasing your home in the winter gives buyers more negotiating power, and
Realtors have Flexible Schedules Spring is the busiest season for Realtors, and many work 12-15 hour days closing deals for their clients. During these hectic months, agents working with multiple families may not be able to meet
buying rush subsides and agents are generally more relaxed with less business. This means more time to assist you in the home buying process, which is especially important if you are a new buyer in need of guidance and education when purchasing your home! You will likely have the full attention
A Lending Lull
Year-end Tax Credits
With everyone off prepping for the holidays, winter can be slow for those in the mortgage broker business. There are fewer real estate transactions during this period, and
you a loan, sometimes with special incentives! This scenario means buyers can score better rates, better prices, and better terms when purchasing their homes.
If you decide to purchase your home in the winter, you may be eligible for year-end tax credits. There are plenty of great incentives for closing on a home at the end of credits for property taxes, closing costs, and interest rates offset your taxable earnings, potentially saving you thousands!
